way it is exquisite, and one who has ridden
upon it will not wonder afterward why so
many fine equipages are always to be seen
upon it on fine afternoons, dragged by
magnificent teams, harnessed elegantly,
and revealing men and women whose faces,
as they loll back upon the upholstered seats,
betray the very essence of luxurious ease and
contentment. The heaviest vehicles only
leave gentle ribbon-like imprint upon the
smooth, unyielding plateau of sand, so that
the wheels ride as man has never been able
to cause them to do even upon the finest
macadamized roads. There is boardwalk
skirting the beach, as at Atlantic City, but
thousands abandon it for the sand, and so
attractive is this level strand for bathing that
more of it is done there than at any four
watering-places on the coast, excepting Mar
ragansett Pier.

TEA IN SICKNESS.

Why is it that those who are sickR
and convalescing ask for and relish q
cup of tea1 Why is it again that
physicians will so often recommend
tea and forbid coffeel Plainly the
answer is: Because tea is more5
wholesome stimulant, and in this resa
spect excels coffee" But while tll
use of tea is extending all over IT,
country, there is one class of the''
community who do not realize tn
great advantages it offers, and this Iii
the very poor, those who may regard
it as luxury, and think they cannde
afford it. That which they cann0
really afford is to do without it. fc1

not food in itself, is the greatest -

stance as fair example. Atthe priG.'

Good tea is the cheapest and b <
article Of food that the poor man q
buy; its gentle and stimulatie z
effects will often stop that craving
something stronger and which, uni
tea, may lead to ruin. A workno

Curing Alfalfa.

The following excerpt from the Denver
FieIH and Farm will interest our readers:
"The editor of these columns paid much at
tention to the matter Of cutting and curing
alfalfa last season. He became satisfied that
the plant was generally injured by allowing
to bleach in the sun and by drying too much
before it was put in the stack or NOW. To
make the best quality of hay the crop should
not lay but one day spread upon the ground
as it falls. That cut in the morning should
be punched at night, and then, after laying
twenty four hours, should be turned care
fully so as not to break the tender leaves,
and always kept intact in the original bunch
es and not pitched and scattered, as is ordi
narily the rule with other kinds Of hay.
Farmer Weir discovered that by irrigating
the grass few days before harvesting and
then allowing ii to remain long enough to
run the machine without sticking in the mud,
that il so done fastened the leaf to the stem
and prevented it from rafting off. The ex-
pertinent is worth the trying"

THE EnfD6riye has been leased by Mr..
Jessie Taggart, the gentleman who last Fall,
and since then has conducted the editorial
department Of that paper. Mr.. Taggart is
an experienced journalist and bright writer,
and will no doubt do all in his power to make
the Enfe,p,ise the first paper in the State,
and also make it pay expenses. 1t must be
remembered, however, that times have
changed in the past ten or fifteen years, SO
that it will be impossible to make the sheet
what it used to be. Many are liable to ov-
erlook this fact and growl, if, under the new
management. the Enfvprise does not launch
out in q manner similar to the Examiner
and Chronicle Of San Francisco. 1t is our
opinion that Mr. Taggart will come as near
making the Entopyise good and paying
paper As anybody can.

--DR. BISHOP, Of the Insane Asylum, has
been found not guilty Of the charges pre-
ferred against him by Mr.. Thompson. New
ertheless, there is yet a doubt in the minds
OF many. whether there were not some
grounds for the charges. The testimony OF
some Of the witnesses for Thompson was very
damaging, and if they have peuured them
selves for pay the matter should be still
further sifted. The majority may believe
Bishop innocent, but there are some who will
not, until Mr.. Thompson and several of his
witnesses are made to face the music. We
do not believe there was any whitewashing
about the generation Of DR.. Bishop, but do
believe that there will be considerable talk
about the unpleasant affair until it is shown
that there was jobbery at the bottom Of it.,
ane where it came from.

The k<seA grows very wrathy because

THE LeseA grows very wrathy because
there appeared id the TINES an article
saying that it is possible that Mr.. c. H. E.
Hardin, Of this county, will ask for the nom
ination Of Senator year from next Fall.
This is very natural, indeed, for the Demo
scratic proprietor Of the Leeeh, who has
been elected Senator from this county for a
number Of terms, is evidently under the i'm
preston that be has life lease on the Office,
and the bare intimation Of anybody. else as.
piring tor the position in the Democratic
ranks, causes his man Friday to become
somewhat alarmed
Asfor the TINES acknowledging that there
were good men in the Democratic party,
there is nothing in it. There never was a
time that this paper failed to give anybody
bis just dues. Last Fall our opinion was
publicly expressed to the effect that the
Democrats did not have as good ticket as
had the Republicans. Right here we will
state that we do not believe they can put up
- strong and good ticket as the Republi-
Cans. We are not advocating the election of
any Democrats, but merely stated that Mr..
Hardin would make as good representative
as the Democrats could select, if he succeed
ed in being elected.
As for being pap-sucker (which means
We received mony for campaign work) we
are glad to know that the Leeeh has found
out that Republicans considered the work
done by the TIMES worth something. 1t Is
much nicer to be what you call Pap-sucker
than to be a leech or blsod sucker in
community; and we imagine it is nicer than
70 be any other kind Of sucker.
